Azure Foundry orchestration over A2A extends the cross-cloud series with strategic cloud interop.
Summary
Azure Foundry successfully orchestrated a cross-cloud A2A workflow with Amazon Bedrock AgentCore as a remote specialist, using MCP for local exchange-rate data and A2A for agent-to-agent invocation. The verified mode ran both paths concurrently and reported exact agreement (87.138 EUR) with 0% relative difference, despite the 25-second A2A-only latency versus 359 ms for MCP-only. OAuth client credentials via Cognito JWT solved the cross-cloud authentication problem, and the domain service remained unchanged when reversing the cloud topology.
